Sunderland defender Sebastian Coates exits the Stadium of Light and joins Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon on a six-month loan basis.

Sporting Lisbon have completed the signing of Sunderland defender Sebastian Coates on a six-month loan deal.

The Uruguayan only joined the Black Cats on a permanent basis in the summer from Liverpool.

However, following the recent arrivals of Jan Kirchhoff and Lamine Kone, Coates has been deemed surplus to requirements at the Stadium of Light by manager Sam Allardyce.
